I build web interfaces for use by employees of state & county governments. Most users in large counties like Santa Clara or San Diego are using cookie-cutter machines that are 5-8 years old, locked down at IE6 on Windows 95. One is just getting ready for a bulk purchase of WinXP/IE7 machines (wow!) which took 3 years to plan for and are supposed to last for the next 5+ years.
Sadly, IE6 support must continue for a few more years in many arenas, especially when dealing with slow governments.
